SECTION 4
MAINTENANCE
c. Change the oil and oil filter element after
t h e first 20 operating h o u r s and every 500
hours thereafter. The oil in the system must be
changed whenever it shows traces of dirt or the
effects of high operating temperature, evidenced
by discoloration or strong odor.
d. If the oil in the system has become
contaminated with metal particles, all the
components of the system (oil tubes, oil
pump, o i l f i l t e r , c o n t r o l valve, converter
clutches, heat exchanger and sump) must be
t h o r o u g h l y cleaned. The presence of metal
particles in the oil is evidence of the failure of
some part of the system.
e. Drain dirty oil while it is still warm,
examining it for contamination. The forward-
